Server 2012 Proposal
SHIV LLC is an up and coming company that is looking at becoming one of the leading solar panel companies that covers both the east and west coast. They are looking to establish three new sites; one is in Los Angeles, another in Dallas, and the final in Houston. While the separate sites are geographically separate, they are operationally a single unit. In order for SHIV LLC to establish themselves as a leading solar panel company, they need to acclimate themselves as one of the leading technologically advanced companies. Being able to manage customer accounts, finances, research and development, and daily IT duties is imperative for the company being able to survive in the competitive energy business.
There are many new things in Windows Server 2012 that SHIV LLC can take complete advantage of. Managing user and groups became much easier with the new user groups management. You can create user groups and add user accounts to them. User account permissions can be managed through their user group memberships (What 's New in Windows Server Essentials, 2013). One of the newest and most up to date features is being able to manage mobile devices through the dashboard. When Office 365 is integrated with the server mobile devices can be managed by using Exchange Active Sync functionalities. Certain functions such as performing remote wipes, email access, and password policies can all be done for mobile devices from Server 2012.
Since your company has three separate sites then one of the tools you might want to take advantage of, is Office 365. Office 365 is the Microsoft Office suite of tools, except better. Office 365 uses the cloud so that all files and folders can be made available on the cloud so that they can be accessed from anywhere. Agents can get into client files while at the client’s location. Calendars and email can be updated and accessed from any location. Office Online can take any browser that a user has and create, edit, and share files.
